Claws for Concern by Miranda James, Author

From the author:  
“Three weeks from (Jan 30), the ninth ‘Cat in the Stacks’ mystery, CLAWS FOR CONCERN, will be released in both hardcover and e-book formats. If you intend to purchase either format and haven't already pre-ordered, please consider doing so. Publishers pay a lot of attention to pre-order numbers. Thanks, as always, for the support of cozy readers!”

Pre-order it now here:  http://amzn.to/2s2zjSL

cj Sez: Piggy-backing onto what Miranda said, pre-order numbers are also important for the Mobile Writers Guild anthology, PIECES, so please order as soon as you can.

That’s all for this post. You-all guys keep on keeping on, and I’ll try to do the same.
